Description

Playground is a free app compatible exclusively with the PlayPad and PlayPad Pro from Nyko Technologies that allows you to find, download and play controller compatible games. Playground will scan your device and find games already compatible with the PlayPad in HID, Mouse or Keyboard mode. This way you can easily find, launch and download games that have been tested for the PlayPad.

Want to customize your controls in advance mode? Just select that tab to see a list of installed compatible games and you’ll be able to easily assign keyboard and HID commands to specific buttons on the controller. This is an ideal way to take games or software that only have Keyboard support or limited controller support, and easily transfer control to the PlayPad. After customizing your controller setup for your favorite game, you can easily save and create new profiles.

If you experience any issues or need help setting up the PlayPad, PlayPad Pro or Playground, please do not hesitate to contact us at 888.444.6956 and a Nyko customer service representative can help resolve any issues you may have.

Please Note: This update does not include any touch mapping support. Nyko’s original solution for Touch Mapping was made incompatible following the Android 4.1 update. We are still examining if it is possible to do touch mapping within the current version of Android. We will update further if and when we discover a working solution.

Thank You:Please continue to send us your feedback and any issues you experience as it helps us to improve the Nyko Playground experience. Expect more frequent updates from us in the future.

Here's how to get it to work.( DONT UPDATE FIRMWARE IF IT WORKS WITHOUT IT) First you pair the Nyko playPad through the Bluetooth in your settings . Now turn off the Nyko playPad it should still show up on the list of paired devices. Now open the Nyko playground app click on sync controller it should say controller paired NOW, turn on your nyko play pad and the sync controller button you just pressed should change to controller synced. And bam! Remember it has to be in HID mode. Once it is synced you can even switch the controller to mouse pad mode and even use it as a mouse.

Love the controllers but I have bought multiple Nyko controllers and all work great and for their price they are complete steal. I read the comments of the so called gamers and surprised they haven't figured out the problem is the software not hardware, stop blaming the controls and someone please fix this app and the software. Love the play pad and pro , they feel great depending what game I'm playing, I used little one for more casual games and pro for more demanding game. To bad the app doesn't live up to greatness of the hardwa

Here we are near the end of 2014 and it's still dreadful. I'm tired of fiddling with this app and getting nowhere. It goes from telling me it can't find the controller despite the controller being connected and showing as synced, then it'll recognise it then tell me it can't find out the firmware version, then I'm told to switch it to HID mode, no App mode, no HID mode, now pair it, now unpair it, it's not connected, oh it is connected, can't recognise it, can recognise it... What's the use. Time to throw it all in the bin and avoid Nyko like the plague.

A clumsy piece of junk The controller itself is way too junky and cheap for the price, has difficulty connecting, and is generally uncomfortable to hold. the app is slow and clumsy. Also, it claims to work with "100's" of games, but I count about 39 total.

Treat controller Wish I could set up a profile even though the app may think its compatible,literally every app it said this so what's the point? Please add some freedom for the users to figure out what's up with the app your trying to use it with. So basically let us make a profile for what I want and not be interfered with the idiotic app that's thinks some apps are his compatible just wish I could set up what I want

GARBAGE I was very nervous to run this app seeing all the problems people have posted with this app and controller, well the app didn't cause problems, and the 1st controller doesn't work anymore. I have since bought 2 more, neither work. Screw you Nyko

Garbage This app is required if you want full compatibility with games such as GTA San Andreas (D Pad and Select button doesn't work). Controller is great, however the app itself feels cheap, and it's too unintuitive. A lot of fiddling around with settings, re-pairing and switching from APP mode to HID mode. Running Lollipop

Unable to reprogram You're supposed to be able to change how each button acts. Being unable to determine the firmware version installed makes that impossible. I've tried 5 times already to update it just to reprogram the buttons to work properly, and it keeps saying that the firmware version couldn't be determined. This app is complete bull.

I used to use my nyko playpad all the time, then i tried updating the firmware, the update seemed to freeze so i exited out of it, then i kept trying to turn the playpad back on and it didn't work, i need help please, i even tried charging it and re-establishing the Bluetooth connection, and every now and then the lights start flashing when i charge it, i don't know what to do, please help, nothing online has helped, i have the small black edition.

My god, you have some nerve still selling this piece of crap I hope you guys go out of business and save other innocent kids from wasting their money. You still advertise features this controller simply will not do - and then admit you don't know if you can fix it.

W. T. F. Ive updated the firmware for my controller on my Galaxy S2 and now it is reading as a bluetooth keyboard instead of a gamepad. And now none of my games work anymore bc of the update. Wtf Nyko?! Did i just waste $20 for crap?!

This app offers little support. I am having the same issues as many others with this app. Not being able to update the firmware to enable button mapping. Utterly infuriating. Nykos website offers no support for either hardware or app.

Nice hardware but crummy software I like this controller I truly do but but for some reason it won't pair to my HTC one V (4.0.3)... In the pair option it is only coming up as a keyboard not a game pad??? According to the instructions the light is supposed to have a steady glow but instead it continues at a slow pace firmware must be the issue.

Ok.. I have erased my very long, very negative review because something awesome happened, my epsxe emulator can actually sense the trigger button L and R 2 now! Very happy that it is working, and that after all this time they finally delivered. Phone- LG Motion 4g

So difficult. Crashes when Bluetooth is enabled on Optimus One P500. I just want to update the stupid firmware. -EDIT- A reboot allowed it to connect, but a firmware install did not fix connecting to my 4.3 Galaxy SII Skyrocket. Has to install app v2.1 to even update firmware.

Not all devices are supported, therefore it is strongly recommended that you try the Sixaxis Compatibility Checker (available for free on Google Play) before purchasing this app.

Finally the wait is over... The ultimate gaming experience awaits! Now you can play games on your phone the way they were meant to be played! Sixaxis Controller allows you to use the following controllers in many of your favourite games and applications:

PlayStation 4:DualShock® 4 Wireless Controller (If pairing on a PC, you must use SixaxisPairTool 0.3.0+)

*** IMPORTANT ***- ROOT access is required!!!- Due to the way pairing is done with the controllers, you need to manually pair your controller with the PC utility 'SixaxisPairTool' (available on the website) and a mini-USB cable. Android 3.1+ users can also pair directly on their devices via USB.- It is highly recommended that you use an ORIGINAL controller. Many after market controllers will not work with this app. If you get a 'Client connected: 1' message, but the lights on your controller continue to flash, it is almost certainly not an original Sony controller.- The fake controllers that are most likely to work (though not guaranteed) are those made by Gasia. If you bought a fake that works but isn't made by Gasia, I'd love to hear from you so I can compile a list of known working controllers.- Be sure to read the instructions in the help menu carefully.

Features:- Up to four Sixaxis, DualShock 3, DualShock 4 and Navigation controllers supported at once.- Support as a native gamepad in Android 3.1+ devices. Full support for analog sticks and analog triggers.- Keyboard emulation. Map all buttons and sticks to almost any key available in Android.- Mouse emulation. Configure a button to activate the mouse pointer on devices that support mice (most tablets, and many phones should work).- Touch emulation allows you to map buttons and analog sticks to the screen. Play all your favourite games with full analog support, even those without built-in controller support!

This is NOT a bluetooth keyboard driver, it ONLY supports the devices listed above.

Analog input is supported but requires that the app you are using BluezIME with also supports it. Some of the major emulators support BluezIME analog input, setup your controller inside the emulator app instead of through the BluezIME interface if possible. If your favorite app does not support BluezIME analog input, please write the publishers and ask for it!

Confirmed to work with almost all devices from HTC, Samsung and Motorola.

Reported NOT working with any LG device with stock ROM:http://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/issues/detail?id=84

Usage instructions:1) Enable BluezIME (Settings, Language and Keyboard)2) Select the device to use, and the device type3) Turn on the Game Pad4) Select BluezIME as the input method

You only need to perform step 1+2 for the first use.

This application does not use root access.

Check to see if it is possible to configure the controller from inside the app you want to use the controller with. If this is possible, it is the recommended way to do so. In this case you do not need to perform the steps above.

If you need help, go to the project homepage and create an issue. I cannot respond to messages left in comments. If you simply cannot create an issue, drop me a line: opensource@hexad.dk

If you want Wiimote, iCade or Keyboard support, install the HID Enabler:http://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/downloads/detail?name=BluezIME-HIDEnabler.apk

If you want to complain that Wiimote/iCade/Keyboard does not work with your device, see here first:http://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/issues/detail?id=7

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION! Not compatible with all phones nor Android 4.2+.

Play games with a Wii remote on your Android device!

Incompatibility update: Android 4.2+ is not compatible with this app. The reason for this is that Google changed an essential bluetooth component in this version of Android. We are looking for a solution.

News, changelog and FAQ are on the dev's website. Link is below description.

Problems? Please read the FAQ on the dev's website before emailing.

This app doesn't work on phones with HTC Sense UI and most newer Samsung phones (Galaxy S included). More info on the website.

**Requires MOGA Pivot:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bda.pivot.mogapgp** Android 2.3 or lower will crash currently due to the on screen keyboard.

This application is a virtual keyboard for PowerA MOGA™ Pocket and MOGA™ Pro controllers. This allows you to simulate keyboard presses with the MOGA controller. With this the MOGA controllers can be used with many applications and games that do not support it by default. You can create button mapping profiles and bind certain application to a profile. Profiles will automatically be selected based on which application you are using. This is particularly useful with applications like emulators.

No hassle connecting MOGA controllers, simply use MOGA Pivot to manage the connection then run MOGA VK.

FEATURES==========- Provides full functionality for the PowerA MOGA™ Pocket and MOGA™ Pro controllers.- Use your MOGA controller with almost any keyboard supported application or game.- Allows creation of profiles.- Automatic profile detection based on current app.- Default mapping included mimics Xperia Play on MOGA Controller.- Fully customize Analogs to map to keyboard presses.- Profiles are saved on sd card under 'Moga_VK/'- MOGA IME includes Android 4.X LatinIME keyboard

PERMISSIONS=========- Read contacts and Dictionaries is for LatinIME on screen keyboard.- Internet is for ads.- Writing external storage is to save profiles.

NO ROOT, NO PAIRING. Enable supported devices to use wired PS3 DualShock 3/Sixaxis Controller natively. All you need is an Android device with USB-Host support, and connection cable (USB-OTG cable is needed for device with no built-in USB Host port). You can avoid the need of rooting, and skip the hassle of pairing the controller when switching between devices.

After the controller is enabled you can use it with games and mapping tools which support native controller (e.g. GTA, Dead Trigger, Shadow Gun, GameKeyboard).

NOT ALL DEVICES AND AFTERMARKET CONTROLLERS ARE SUPPORTED, AND ONLY WORK WHEN CABLE IS CONNECTED.

If it is working with your device please share the information in comments, otherwise please get a refund and report to android.locnet@gmail.com.

Common Problem1. The #1 reason for failure is an incorrect/incompatible cable, if the app cannot detect the controller please go through the troubleshooting section.2. Another common problem is insufficient power provided by the device, in this case an external powered USB Hub is needed.3. Finally, incompatibility mainly come from lacking Sixaxis support from Firmware, without rooting the only solution is waiting for a Firmware updated.

General Troubleshooting Tips1. make sure your PS3 controller is working with the USB cable properly, when plugging into a PC, windows should detect and add it as new gamepad although windows won't response to button press.2. make sure your OTG cable is working with your device, test with an USB keyboard/mouse if possible3. make sure nearby PS3 (or any other devices you have paired with the the controller) is powered off, otherwise the controller may try to connect with those device through Bluetooth instead.4. if you have ever installed any other apps which can work with PS3 controller directly, you may need to uninstall them.

These devices are reported as NOT WORKING out of boxStock Firmware lacks Sixaix support, you may give it another try after Firmware updated.- HTC One M7/M8 (non-Google Edition)- Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7.0- Moto G (non-Google Edition)- Moto X

Provides full functionality for the PowerA MOGA™ Pocket and MOGA™ Pro controllers.

NOTE: If you see the Pivot notification pop up that doesn't mean it's running! I cannot prevent it from seeing that the controller has connected since Bluetooth broadcasts are not ordered.

This application provides a virtual keyboard that simulates key presses when you use your MOGA controller. You can map any button or joystick on your MOGA to a key using profiles that are exportable in XML format for you to share with your friends.

For users with rooted phones there is a second mode available called Gamepad Mode. This mode creates a virtual gamepad that acts just like a standard USB gamepad. The main benefit of this mode is the ability to use the analog joysticks as more than just glorified directional pads.

• Virtual Keyboard• Configurable profiles• Profiles are saved as XML files on your SD card• Controller discovery and management• Auto-configures based on which kind of controller you're using (Pro/Pocket)• Gamepad Mode• • Only available on rooted devices• • Pretends to be a standard USB gamepad• • Allows for full analog input• Desktop Widgets• • Toggle the driver's state from your desktop• • With the long widget you can also change your active profile from the desktop

Do you want to get more out of your bluetooth controller? If you're running a rooted Android 3.1+ device, and your controller is compatible with Bluez IME, then this is the app for you.

This app works by tricking Android into thinking your controller is natively supported, thus allowing games such as GTA III and Shadowgun to work at their best with true analog support. Growing popularity for games with native gamepad support means the list of supported games will continue to grow.

Only one controller can be connected at a time, as I'm not aware of any games that support multiple native gamepads. I will be adding multiple controller support in the future when hopefully more games support them.

1. Install and run Bluez IME, then configure your controller as the first device and check that it can successfully connect. This step is only required once or if you change controllers.2. Disconnect the controller from Bluez IME, then launch Gamepad Enabler and check the 'Driver Enabled' box. Be sure to allow Superuser permissions when prompted.3. Connect your controller by pressing the power or sync button and check for a 'Controller connected' message.4. Configure the button mappings under 'Edit Mappings'.

*** Warning: This app requires root. If you're not sure what that means, you probably don't have it. ***

About permissions: prevention from sleeping is required to keep the device awake while doing something with the files (some people were complaining about it).

If you've found a bug or want to make a feature request, that's great! Head over to the site given below in the "Developer" section and add a comment to an existing issue or open a new one. You can also drop me an email.

If you report some bad archive which doesn't open in my application though it should (not corrupted or with some unsupported algorithm), don't forget to attach it to your issue or email. Otherwise, guesswork isn't really reliable, you know. If the archive is too large, upload it to a file exchange service and leave a URL.

Add joystick support to An2An Remote, to redirect analog controller actions from one device to another device through Bluetooth or WiFi/Network. Support connected physical controller and virtual controller (e.g. GameKeyboard Joystick Mode, Sixaxis Controller System Mode, Moga Universal Driver Gamepad Mode). This is not a standalone app and there is no separated icon after installed.

Recommend to check compatibility with An2An Remote (Demo) before purchase.

Please contact us for any problem (android.locnet@gmail.com).

Benefits- Turn your wired controller into an wireless controller. - If you have a phone with built-in game controller (e.g. Xperia Play, Nvidia Shield, Droid X360, JXD S5110, Yinlips G18A), you don't need to buy controller for other devices.- When the target device cannot connect to a game controller directly (e.g. no OTG, Firmware unsupported, unrooted), you can use another compatible device as a "bridge".

For users looking for simply and easy to use touchscreen mapping tools to play Touchscreen games and other purpose, work with Gamepad, Keyboard and Mouse. FPS style games (such as MC4, Dead Trigger, ShadowGun, GTA, Minecraft) get much better camera control by playing with mouse, provides true PC gaming experience on Android. ** Need rooted device **.

If your device is not compatible or have other problem please contact developer at android.locnet@gmail.com

Features:- simple and easy to use- edit touch points over captured screen or directly over games screen- emulate up to 5 simultaneous touch points- pan camera with mouse, map mouse buttons, and hide mouse cursor- save game profiles and exchange with other users- work with any input devices support by OS (e.g. Xperia Play Touchpad, USB XBox 360 Controller), Bluez-IME (e.g. Wiimote, iControlPad, PhoneJoy, iPega), or "system mode" of connecting tools like Sixaxis Controller (PS3) and Moga Universal Driver- work with devices which have no physical touchscreen

Convert your keyboard or joystick to a mouse. Convert mouse to stick or touch device...

Use accelerometer as air mouse or driving wheel.

Use webcam or phone camera to control a virtual joystick or mouse.

Supports several connected gamepad/keyboards at a time.

More than 20 different kinds of operation modes per button or stick.

Create profiles for your games/apps. The profiles can be automatically applied when the games load. Share profiles universally. Contact me for issues/defails.

Simple, intutitive and well Holo integrated UI.

An IME that can be controlled with gamepads is included. In your device is rooted you dont need to use it

You can combine the application with other IME.

NOTES:

WIKI at http://tincore.wiki-site.com/index.php/Main_Page

This app works much better if you have a kernel with uinput module. Without uinput it is convenient to have the provided IME running. The game compatibility is lower as well.

This application does NOT REQUIRE ROOT. Nevertheless many of the most interesting functions need root. This is essential for touch screen, joystick or mouse simulation and can not be attained in another way..
